Christy Moore - The Sun Is Burning lyrics

The sun is burning in the sky Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by In the park the dreamy bees Are droning in the flowers, among the trees And the sun burns in the sky Now the sun is in the west Little babes lay down to take their rest And the couples in the park Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark And the sun is in the west Now the sun is sinking low Children playin' know it's time to go High above a spot appears A little blossom blooms and then draws near And the sun is sinking low Now the sun has come to Earth Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of d**h d**h comes in a blinding flash Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash And the sun has come to Earth Now the sun has disappeared All that's left is darkness, pain, and fear Twisted, sightless wrecks of men Go crying on their knees and cry in pain And the sun has disappeared
